IF If I ever leave you in this world all by your self I want for you to read this poem I kept high on a shelf If I can never touch your face or hear your lovely voice I hope your life is always filled with happiness and joy I tried so hard to find the words to show you how I feel I tried to write this simple poem that somehow would reveal How much I always cared for you in everything you did I wish I told you more of all the feelings that I hid I’m sorry for the times I ever caused you to be stressed With all the love I felt from you I know that I was blessed I hope you know the problems that we had were all my own I’m sorry living with me made you feel so all alone I want for you to know that when you call me I’ll be there It doesn’t matter if your really happy or your scared Just know that I am holding you whenever you have fear And that I’ll always be there every time you cry a tear I wish that I could bottle up your laughter in a vial I’d pour it out into the wind and make the whole world smile I wish that I could find the color trapped within your eyes I’d toss it up into the air and paint a whole new sky I wish that I could capture your illuminating glow The effervescence of your smile could lift those feeling low I wish that I could find the tune you hear when angels fly I’d sing it nightly, in your ear until you softly cried If god forbid the world should end in one big global crime Our spirit’s still, would hold each other till the end of time And even if the windows to our souls both fell apart The love we have, would still unlock the doors to each our hearts So when you see a butterfly or smell a pretty rose? It’s just me getting close to you so I can kiss your nose I tried to find some special words to show you how I feel I tried to write this simple poem that somehow would reveal How truly I adore and worship everything you do If I could only find the words I’d give them all to you [This message has been edited by Richy (05-15-2003 04:44 PM).] |

Ah, Richy, you just did find the words. Now it's up to her to listen and reply. Peace. What a gentle soft pleading cry. |

"IF" I were to receive a poem like that, I'd love him forevermore for I would have found someone whose heart beats as my own... Truly a gift from your soul to hers. Warm hugs, EA |

I wish that I could bottle up your laughter in a vial I’d pour it out into the wind and make the whole world smile I wish that I could find the color trapped within your eyes I’d toss it up into the air and paint a whole new sky ================================== How adoringly wonderful... this is a delightful poetic heartspill. Lovely poet sir...well done.  You're the best I've ever felt ... |

Richy, these are honest and sincere thoughts of a humble man. A treasure. And yes, so many write and it is very difficult to read all that others write. Happy to see you here at Passions, and I hope a dear lady gets to read this, it is a beautiful poem. |

I suspect you've just found the words... Now - IF - they were just delivered to their rightful owner...  |

Simply enchanting. You speak from the heart here. I'd like to imagine her pulling this poem from the shelf, unfolding the page, and after reading the first stanza, she is entranced. She sits down of the sofa by an open window where the drapes dance in the spring breeze. She feels so many emotions, as tears stream down her flushed cheeks. And when she's finished reading the verse, she goes back to the beginning to relive and savor your love. There goes that imagination of mine... But isn't that the poet's nature. Very beautiful, Richy. -Patricia |

I wish that I could bottle up your laughter in a vial I’d pour it out into the wind and make the whole world smile Why oh why does love have to fade from a heart that's so full! Richy~ Your words touch so softly, and leave me sighing deeply~ |

Thank You BluesSerenade, from someone who writes so passionately, your wonderful comments always mean a lot to me... We may separate from each other in body and mind... but never in the spirit, of love... Thanks again! Richy |
